How to Remove Ads uTorrent with Just One Click | Pimp my uTorrent

uTorrentis a freeware, ad-supported, proprietary BitTorrent client owned and developed by BitTorrent, Inc. With over 100 million users it is the most widely used BitTorrent client.

BitTorrent Inc. added advertisements to the popular uTorrent client two years ago. What many people don’t know though, is that these ads can be disabled by diving into the advanced settings. When BitTorrent Inc. announced its plan to add advertising to its flagship uTorrent client a small user revolt broke out.
The people complaining were mostly annoyed that there would be no option to disable the ads. Luckily, BitTorrent listened to the feedback and decided that users would indeed get a chance to opt-out from the ads.

Despite the initial complaints, nowadays most users probably aren’t aware of the opt-out settings. Even for those users who do know, uTorrent doesn’t make it very easy for them to remove the ads. They will have to mess with the advanced settings, search for the relevant variables, and change them one by one.

Want to get rid of the annoying ads in µTorrent?

The developer of the torrent optimized TV-calendar DuckieTV was confronted with this issue a few days ago when he introduced a friend to BitTorrent. After first installing uTorrent, he noticed that the client was littered with ads he disabled himself a long time ago.
After manually changing several settings to strip the ads, he came up with the idea to automate the process.

For DuckieTV, the developer previously reverse-engineered BitTorrent’s Torque and BtApp.js tools, which are able to talk to uTorrent via the browser. He therefore decided to see if the same code could also be used to change uTorrent’s settings.

“I remembered that BitTorrent previously ran an experiment with btApp.js that fiddled with settings, so all I needed to do was hook up the settings functionality in my library and set up a page so users can disable ads in one click,” Schizoduckie says.

Remove ads utorrent?

What you need to do is simply click on “Pimp my uTorrent” button on this page.
Pimp my uTorrent literally requires just one click to disable the ads on Windows clients. There is nothing to install as the page uses JavaScript to communicate with uTorrent.

After the “pimping” is done, uTorrent might need to be restarted before the changes are visible. People who are not happy with the result have an option to reverse them with another click. But seriously why do you ever want to reverse it?
